SPORTS Continued from page 6) n the course of his pereyrinations, and I believe that uncle Wilbert »binson, late mentor of “Them Brooklyn Dodg Iso a devotee. le should be, he the physique nd doubtless can acquire the thirst. I dare say most New Yorkers ouldn’t think much of this sport. What with the taxicabs and the pop- ping of speak y corks they'd never ear their houn’ dawg if it treed a iry agent over in Brooklyn” or R.D. MOVIES hert's performances. Thus, they rea- oned, the only thing to do with “Mis- ading Lady” is to make it funny. We could suggest several other hings they might have done with he story, but that isn’t what we're ere for. Meditating gloomily upon the srospects of having near-riots in the streets over the news that Mr. Lowe and Miss Colbert were to lend their vices to this picture, the execu- es decided to give a Mr. Stuart win, Whose name has begun to mean more and more to the cus- a leading part in the show. s Mr. Erwin is a comedian, and good one. At least, I think he is « good one. You can’t tell from his vork in “Misleading Lady" because at work so palpably sales relief. In a story that is supposed to be serious, suddenly we have Mr. Erwin playing an escaped lunatic. I for one, would be perfectly willing to believe that the plot is entirely that the whole thing was mi be funny. It wasn't, and th catch. It is too much to suppose that ene comic, with an idiotic part, can not only amuse the customers, but keep a picture intact. In their anxiety to get mother, father and the maid into the thea- tres, the produc do neither one thing nor the other. Good come: edians ra and good comeds There isn’t any such thing as comic relief. If a picture is a melodrama, then why turn a comedian loose like trained seal to perform a few per- inctory but irrelevant tricks? And fa comedian is as good as we think Mr. Erwin to be, why not write a medy, give him the lead, and let it vo at that?
